midity when cooking.
• Only cook meals as long as necessary. Keeping food warm consumes more
energy than warming cooled down food. In addition you save vitamins: You
loose less vitamins because they are not heat resistant.
• When preparing meals with a long cooking time you can save time and en-
ergy by using a pressure cooker.
Cleaning and mainte-
nance
All surfaces and parts
• Do not use any abrasive agents and sponges
or sharp cleaning agents! Chemical oven cle-
aners, bleaching agents, rust and spot remo-
vers can have a corrosive effect and damage
the surface of your hob.
• Cleaning agents containing acid or chlorine
must not be used.
• Allow surfaces to cool before cleaning.
• Usually it is sufficient to clean the appliance with a damp cloth and a little
washing-up liquid each time you use it. Wipe dry afterwards. Always com-
pletely remove any remains of cleaning agent with a damp cloth; they could
have an corrosive effect.
• Avoid dirt burning and becoming encrusted.
• Take care that the burner covers are replaced correctly after cleaning. En-
gage burner covers by turning.
Glass ceramic hob
• Before cleaning always wait until the hob has cooled down sufficiently.
Exception: sugar and melted plastic (see below).
• Encrusted dirt and food which has boiled over should be removed with a
glass scraper. Remove sugar and melted plastic immediately while the coo-
king surface is still hot.
• Heavy dirt and spots which glitter like mother of pearl can be removed with
a cleaning agent for stainless steel.
• Do not use any cleaning cloths or sponges that are used for other purposes.
This can discolour the surface, but the discoloration will not become visible
the next time you use the appliance.
• To protect and care for the glass ceramic hob we recommend special pro-
ducts to care for glass ceramic hobs such as VSR Cleaner and VSR O-Fix.
You can obtain these agents vie the Küppersbusch replacement part ser-
vice. They protect the hob by covering it with a thin protective film which
wards off water and dirt.
